All You Need is Love, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know what's coming up on this week's episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show. It's an encore presentation of last year's Valentine's Day episode. Yes, life has intervened yet again, and my weekend is going to be pretty busy, so I give you an episode originally aired on February 12, 2022, for your enjoyment. As ever, keep in mind that these reruns are snapshots in time, so promos and announcements may not reflect the current state of things at Mushroom FM. Still, I hope you'll like the episode.

Coming up on Saturday at the Described Movies: Gridiron Gang, and Friday Night Lights.

Join Jonathan Mosen as Mushroom Fm pays tribute to the legendary Burt Bacharach

Burt Bacharach was one of the most important musical figures of the 20th century. He has died of natural causes at the age of 94.

In this three hour tribute, I’ll play you many of the hits Burt Bacharach helped to write. There are so many of them that there is little time for talk. So in this case, the music does much of the talking. You may find yourself surprised by the number of hits he has had a hand in.

Hadda Brooks this week on The Juke In The Back!

The "Juke In The Back" focuses on the " soul that came before rock n' roll," the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
Hadda Brooks is one of the most talented boogie woogie musicians of all-time, yet her name doesn't come up nearly as often as Pete Johnson, Champion Jack Dupree or Professor Longhair. That's a shame!

Deep Dive goes to Rio

This week on Deep Dive we hear about the first of our 2023 shows, and we're excited. We begin the year with excellent Australian songwriter and performer Peter Allen. We hear the story of the Tenterfield Saddler, still, call Australia home, and are just a gigolo.

Tune in at 4 PM Monday Eastern, which is 8 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 10 PM in Eastern Australia. It's easy! Just march up to your SmartSpeaker of choice and demand that it plays Mushroom FM and it will take you to the home of the Fun Guys in the blink of an eye.

Join Anthony and Jonathan for a live three-hour music special for Waitangi Day

Kia ora from new Zealand.

It’s that time of year again. 6 February is Waitangi Day, New Zealand’s national day and a public holiday here. As is often our custom, Anthony Horvath and I will be live in the studio at Mosen towers playing three hours of classic New Zealand music, and perhaps we’ll throw in a little comedy as well.

Remembering "the day the music died" and more 50 Canadian Tracks this week on the Early Years!

After a 2-song tribute remembering "the day the music died" 64 years ago today, niether song by any of the artists who died that day, I'll continue a unique survey of 50 tracks: The Canadian Edition begun Three weeks ago.

Smiley Lewis this week on The Juke In The Back!

There are so many forgotten legends along Rhythm & Blues' evolutionary highway. This week, the "Juke In The Back" looks at the great Smiley Lewis, another influential force out of New Orleans that time has chosen to forget.

Summer continues for Deep Dive

Here in Australia, the weather is still hot, with thunderstorms and all the other signs of summer. And, due to the special repeat of our Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young programme last week, we still have one encore programme left in our summer series which will play next week.

It's our Deep Dive birthday edition from last May, where Chief Fun Guy Jonathan Mosen joins the programme and chooses his favourite Beatles songs, and what great choices he makes.
